Vaporware Or Hardware?

Uh Oh...., Google must be a little underwhelmed at the new AR prototype put together by Magic Leap - a 4.2 billion dollar start up. If you recall, Magic Leap made the headlines after a couple viral videos of awesome augmented reality game play. The prototype suggests the company could be quite a ways off from going on the market. That is, unless the device will fit like spelunking gear. Or Batman gadgetry.

Update 2-12-17:  Magic Leap's CEO stated that the prototype was actually an R&D "rig" used to test lighting and other things. Well, we will wait for a current pic of the prototype and will post as soon as one rolls in. We are a little skeptical since learning that the AR game play which got everyone so excited about the company was actually just a work by an effects video team - not actual game play.
